May 28th, 2017 Ascension Pentecost Novena - Day 3
This week, Jesus, we celebrate Your ascension into heaven.
Christ, You told us that You would be with us always and that You would send us the
paraclete, Your Holy Spirit.
Please Jesus, as You are now in heaven, sitting at the right hand of the Father,
continue to intercede for us and continue to shower down upon us Your graces, that
we may live and love in, to and through You.
Let Your spirit fill us with love, joy and peace.
Let us all be amazed at the continued love that You shower down upon us.
Let us all ask that Your spirit come and renew us.
Let us all do the novena to the Holy Spirit, that we will all be renewed.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday LOOK UP AND GO OUT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=5/28/2017
"No sooner had He said this than He was lifted up before their eyes in a cloud which took
Him from their sight." -Acts 1:9
The apostles asked Jesus: "Lord, are you going to restore the rule to Israel now?"
(Acts 1:6) They were interested in knowing the time Jesus would restore the kingdom. Jesus
responded: "The exact time it is not yours to know" (Acts 1:7). Then Jesus proceeded to
bring up what He was interested in - not so much the time but the persons responsible for
restoring the kingdom. The apostles had assumed Jesus would do the restoring. Jesus
shocked them by asserting that they were to do the job. Before the apostles could try to
shift the responsibility back onto Jesus, He ascended, leaving the apostles "holding the
bag," that is, having the responsibility of making disciples of all the nations
(see Mt 28:19). However, Jesus did not leave His Church responsible but powerless. He
promised us the Spirit's power (Acts 1:8) and His presence "always, until the end of the
world!" (Mt 28:20)
Jesus' Ascension means that we, the members of the Church, take up where Jesus has left
off. The responsibility for evangelizing the world is ours; the power of the Holy Spirit
is ours; and the privilege of living and dying for His kingdom is ours. Because He has
gone up, we must go out. Go now.
Prayer: "God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory," grant us "a spirit of wisdom
and insight to know" You clearly (Eph 1:17).
Promise: "He has put all things under Christ's feet and has made Him, thus exalted, Head
of the Church, which is His body: the fullness of Him Who fills the universe in all its
parts." -Eph 1:22-23
Praise: Praise the ascended Jesus, "seen by the angels; preached among the Gentiles,
believed in throughout the world, taken up into glory" (1 Tm 3:16).

PM Internet Prayer Requests
http://www.presentationministries.com/prayer/prayer.asp
Jesus said to his disciples: "Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my
name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will
receive, so that your joy may be complete. "I have told you this in figures of speech. The
hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but I will tell you clearly
about the Father. On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not tell you that I will
ask the Father for you. For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and
have come to believe that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the
world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."

I ask for prayers for my 11 year old niece Hannah who has cancer. May Jesus the Shepard,
have mercy and hear my prayer. Please give strength, courage and comfort to Hannah and her
family as they fight this wretched illness she does not deserve. May they find the finical

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
COMMUNICATING GOOD NEWS
GOD IS AT WORK
Those who, in faith, entrust themselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit come to realize
how God is present and at work in every moment of our lives and history, patiently bringing
to pass a history of salvation. Hope is the thread with which this sacred history is woven,
and its weaver is none other than the Holy Spirit.
NURTURE HOPE
Hope is the humblest of virtues, for it remains hidden in the recesses of life, yet it is
like the yeast that leavens all the dough. We nurture it by reading ever anew the Gospel,
"reprinted" in so many editions in the lives of the saints who became icons of God's love
in this world.
BEACONS IN THE DARKNESS
... The Spirit continues to sow in us a desire for the Kingdom, thanks to all those who,
drawing inspiration from the Good News amid the dramatic events of our time, shine like
beacons in the darkness of this world , shedding light along the way and opening ever new
paths of confidence and hope.
